The Demon King Always Thinks I'm Secretly in Love with HimChapter 59

Everyone else, frightened, immediately halted their advance. 

The Demon King, still in the air, regarded the group disdainfully from the corner of his eye. Then, with a cold snort, he tightened his hold on Bai Yang and disappeared.

Bai Yang knew that the Demon King was trying to present an untouchable image. The Human Realm’s boundary formation was already suppressing his cultivation, but with the added stress of his recent qi deviation, having to transfer cultivation to Bai Yang, and battling others in the middle of it, his body was overwhelmed.

If they continued to fight, they might not be able to escape. SuDdKA

Their trick bought them some time. By making it difficult for others to guess their strength, their enemies were too scared to pursue them.

The Demon King, with Bai Yang in his embrace, flew in the direction of the passageway.

As they arrived at the passageway’s entrance, a figure flew to their side from a distance, fell to their knees and said, “This subordinate didn’t know Your Highness had arrived and, thus, failed to assist. Your Highness, please forgive me.”

The person who knelt down was Luo Jianfeng. The Demon King must have summoned him.

The Demon King waved his hand. “Your role is special, and it’s not easy for you to leave it. It’s good that you came so quickly. Rise.”

“Thank you, Your Highness.” Luo Jianfeng stood up, then looked at Bai Yang with some doubt. “I heard someone in the Soaring Cloud Sect mention that the Jade Cloud Pearl was stolen. Could it be…” 

“Don’t worry about that,” the Demon King said, waving his hand. “Return to the Sect and find out which elder raised the Rebirth Gu, then kill him.”

Luo Jianfeng’s expression became even more confused. “The Rebirth Gu?” 3tbo2K

“Yes,” the Demon King nodded. “Remember my words. Find him, and kill him.”

“This subordinate obeys,” Luo Jianfeng said.

After killing the elder who had raised the Gu, no one would know where Bai Yang was, and the growth of the Gu would slow. Although it wouldn’t be enough to cure him, it would delay the threat of the Gu.

The Demon Lord deserved to be called the master of an entire realm. Even when things were dire, he was making a plan about the Gu while Bai Yang wasn’t thinking about it at all. 5aPO8Z

Lou Jianfeng left to complete his assignment.

The Demon King indicated for Bai Yang to follow him back to the Demon Realm.

Bai Yang wasn’t keen on returning because he was worried about the Male Lead. The Male Lead had befriended him and attempted to plead leniency for his sake. Now that Bai Yang was revealed to be a demon, how would the Sect Head deal with the Male Lead when he returned?

But the Demon King wasn’t going to let him stay in the human realm, and Bai Yang didn’t dare to say anything. He could only follow obediently through the passage back to the Demonic Realm. oZ7E0T

As soon as they passed through the passageway, the Demon King paused.

“Your Highness?” Bai Yang asked, peering at the Demon King. His face was extremely pale.

“Your Highness, are you injured?” Bai Yang asked anxiously.

The Demon King took a deep breath. His face flooded with an unnatural rush of blood, then faded, and his face returned to normal. Ky Rah

“It’s nothing,” the Demon King said, and scoffed. “How could a few trifling cultivators hurt me?”

Bai Yang studied his expression. After ensuring that nothing seemed amiss, he exhaled in relief.

Bai Yang stared at him. Did the Demon King not remember?

“What are you staring at? I asked you a question.” After not getting an answer, the Demon King raised an eyebrow.

Bai Yang hesitated for a long time over whether he should tell the truth or not. The stuff that happened that night was too embarrassing. If the Demon King never remembered, that would be for the best!

It seemed like the Demon King did not remember. 9HxwZN

But how could he explain where the pill went?

He couldn’t think of an excuse, so he attempted to change the subject. “Your Highness, you were really handsome just now.”

“Oh?” This time, it was the Demon King’s turn to be dazed. He didn’t expect that Bai Yang would say something like that. He coughed. “Really?”

Bai Yang continued to push the conversation down another lane and flattered the Demon King shamelessly. “I thought I was dead for sure back there. I didn’t expect that Your Highness would be able to beat them all up with just a pair of feet. It was too cool!” q8ZTAz

The Demon King didn’t say anything, but his ears had turned red. After a long time, he said, “You really think so?”

“Yeah, I think so. I always felt that Your Highness was handsome, unrivalled in his cultivation, and extremely intelligent. This time, I got to see these talents in action.”

Bai Yang continued to shamelessly praise him.

The Demon King coughed again, then stepped forward toward Bai Yang. “Apart from these, you don’t feel anything else?” Sv7hR1

Bai Yang blinked, not quite understanding what the Demon King meant.

The Demon King stared at him, as if anticipating his next words.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Bai Yang stared at him. Luckily, his mind cleared and he was able to think of what to say next. “In order to save me, Your Highness put himself in danger. This subordinate is moved! This subordinate will strive to do my best until my dying day. I will definitely repay Your Highness for this kindness!”

The Demon King clenched his fist and coughed into it. “And how are you going to repay me?” CXEb3R

“This subordinate is willing to pay with his life!” Bai Yang said reverently, as if he was willing to die any moment.

The Demon King looked at him for a moment. With some disappointment, he said, “That’s all?”

I just promised my life to you, what else do you want from me?

Bai Yang couldn’t understand what he wanted. MY 4mJ

The two stared at each other. Bai Yang couldn’t understand the gaze the Demon King was sending him. He could only innocently stare back.

A moment passed.

“I don’t want your life,” the Demon King said lightly. “This time, you were seriously injured for my sake. I had to look out for you.”

Bai Yang chuckled. His smile was both awkward and carried with it a twinge of guilt. w8cUSz

He’d injured himself for the Demon King, but not just to retrieve the Jade Cloud Pearl. His main purpose was to give the medicinal pill to the Male Lead.

After careful consideration, his original purpose wasn’t pure at all. He wanted the Jade Cloud Pearl to pay back the debt he owed to the Demon King, and instead was saved by him once again. Not only had Bai Yang failed to repay his debt, but he felt he owed the Demon King even more.

If it continued like this, owing more and more and more, who knew when it would end.

He could not allow this to continue. 5VdZJR

He could not be further entangled with the Demon King, or else his own mission in this world would be affected.

After all, he would have to leave this world sooner or later.

“Why did you put yourself in such risk to retrieve the Jade Cloud Pearl for me?” The Demon King asked.

Bai Yang used his long-prepared excuse. “Because this subordinate is devoted to Your Highness.” ciBFQD

The Demon King listened. After realizing that Bai Yang was not saying anything else, he said, disappointed, “that’s all?”

…What else do you want?

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Bai Yang knelt down on one knee. “Your Highness, all of heaven and earth can testify to this subordinate’s loyalty!”

“Do you feel anything toward me besides loyalty?” ChrQjd

Bai Yang finally understood what the Demon King was asking. He felt a little embarrassed.

Before, he would have said he only felt loyalty without hesitation. However, there was a shadow in his heart now. He didn’t deny it right away.

“Your Highness…”

Seeing his hesitation, a smile appeared on the Demon King’s face and his eyes lit up. mjbqsg

“I understand.”

What?

What the hell do you understand?

Bai Yang stared at him. I haven’t even said anything, so what is there to understand? Akibua

“I understand your feelings. You’ve endangered yourself so many times for me, so I shouldn’t have doubted your intentions. But why do you always say these empty words to me?” the Demon King sighed lightly.

Bai Yang’s eyes widened. Suddenly, he understood what the Demon King meant. The Demon King was implying that Bai Yang had done all those things because… he liked him?

“Your Highness,” he blurted out, “I didn’t mean what you implied.”

The Demon King smiled, and yet it didn’t feel like a smile. “And what am I implying?” vMJUOP

Bai Yang: “…”

Bai Yang wanted to say, you’re implying that I like you, but found that saying it out loud was too embarrassing and shameful.

“Your Highness…”

The Demon King placed a hand on his shoulder. “Don’t worry, I feel the same as you. You went through great risks for me, and I… cough, cough… do not have a heart of stone.” zHFJwq

As he spoke, his face flushed bashfully.

It was like a bolt from the blue.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Bai Yang stared blankly at him.

What did the Demon King just say? He said… he felt the same as me? J1GbYk

He misunderstood that I liked him. And now, when he’s speaking like this… could it be he likes me too?

Such a convoluted situation was difficult to rectify!

Bai Yang’s head went blank for a second. When he regained thought, he wanted to scream.

Your Highness, why don’t you think about this again! I’m fickle in love and make bad acquaintances, what is there to like? I even took advantage of your feelings to empower the Male Lead. Wake up, Demon King-sama! MDlFb2

It was a pity the Demon King could not hear his inner thoughts. Bai Yang suppressed the turbulent waves in his heart and said, “Your Highness, everything I did was for Your Highness’s great cause. There really isn’t any other meaning to it.”

The Demon King only smiled, but did not seem to have heard what Bai Yang said.

“We don’t need to discuss that,” the Demon King said. “Hurry up and take the pill I gave you.”

After meandering for a while, Bai Yang was unable to avoid the subject. However, he’d bought himself enough time to think of a solution. pVE19R

“Alright,” he agreed, then fumbled around his clothes. After searching for a while, he feigned not having found anything, and changed his expression to one of shock. Then, he looked around him.

The Demon King furrowed his brows. “It’s not on you?”

Bai Yang turned out all of his pockets, only to remain empty handed. In a panic, he said, “Your Highness, I placed the pill in my Qiankun bag, but it seems the bag has disappeared!”

In a normal situation, a Qiankun bag was difficult to lose, and the Demon King would not have believed this excuse. But now… fE3TcK

“I might have been fighting too hard, and was concentrating on fleeing. I don’t know when I might have lost it,” Bai Yang said, his expression filled with guilt.

His heart raced in his chest. Would the Demon King notice that he was lying? 

Perhaps it was because he was too agitated, but the Rebirth Gu began to flail about in his heart.

Bai Yang groaned, then bent over himself in pain. 1zKl6d

“It’s acting up again?” the Demon King asked, holding him up. “It’s alright, as long as you’re alive, that’s all that matters. If you lost the pill, that’s fine. I’ll just make you a new one.”

Bai Yang raised his head and stared at the Demon King, not daring to trust what he’d heard. The Demon King wanted to make another pill? Would it consume another thousand years of his cultivation?

No, he wouldn’t allow it!

“Definitely not!” jC1HuO

“It’s alright,” the Demon King said.

  5. Ooohhh a tear almost slid out seeing this updating again, seriously love that story soo much. Welcome hiohbye, I’m so happy we’re getting updates again 👏👏👏 Now that Demon King’s feelings are officially out in the open I’m so curious to see how his dynamic with our MC will be 👏✨

  6. I think BY will only accept he isn’t a NPC when he(DK) gets in a life or death situation

    the System doesn’t help with its talk of “everything is a game”

    though we still don’t know what will happen in the ending. I think it would be sad if BY died IRL… Even though his family wasn’t a great one they loved him
